A cold frontal system will inch its way across the region today and stall out just to our south before pushing back to the north later tomorrow as a warm front. Low pressure will develop in the Ohio Valley on Thursday and push towards the northeastern states riding along the frontal boundary zone. Another cold front slides through at week’s end to be followed by high pressure which will gradually build back into the region during the upcoming weekend.
As a result of this combination of fronts and low pressure systems, more rain is coming to the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and this looks like a soaking rain event with an inch or more on the table. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely later today and then numerous showers and thunderstorms are on the way for later tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night. There can be a few lingering showers on Friday and Saturday with plenty of clouds around and it should be dry on Sunday and Monday (one caveat on the expected dry conditions on Sunday and Monday…we will need to keep our eyes on a couple of tropical systems that should be over the western Atlantic this weekend).

A warm front is advancing through the area this morning and a cold frontal system will inch its way across the region later tomorrow before stalling out just to the south of here. Low pressure will develop along the frontal boundary zone on Thursday and then another front slides through at week’s end. As the cold front begins its approach to the area later today, the chance of scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms will increase and some of the storms can be strong. The best chance for rain later today and early tonight will likely be on the northern and western side of the metro region. The low pressure system will enhance the chance for some steadier and soaking rainfall around here from late Wednesday night into early Friday with an inch or more of rainfall on the table.

The last time a hurricane hit New England with hurricane-strength winds was Hurricane Bob on August 19, 1991. It made landfall in Rhode Island as a Category 2 hurricane, causing significant damage, loss of life, and coastal erosion across southern New England. For many decades prior, New England was directly hit by a hurricane on a regular basis averaging about one every 7 years or so. Yesterday, September 21, marked the 87th anniversary of one of the most destructive and powerful hurricanes in recorded history that struck Long Island and Southern New England. The storm has been referred to in different ways including "The Great New England Hurricane of 1938" or "The Long Island Express" or the "Yankee Clipper".

The week begins with an upper-level trough centered over the Great Lakes and it will contribute to unsettled conditions around here.

A cold front heads into the area today and is likely to produce afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures this afternoon are going to be near the 80-degree mark and then likely confined to the middle 50’s on Tuesday following the passage of the cold front and it could be just cold enough for some snow in the higher elevations to the west of here. It should turn warmer and drier again for the late week and upcoming weekend.

After a dry weekend with high pressure in control, the weather turns much more unsettled this week with multiple chances for rain. A warm front will advance northward through the area later tonight and then a cold front approaches later tomorrow. This combination will increase the chances for some afternoon and evening shower activity on Tuesday and a couple of thunderstorms can mix into the picture. The cold front slides just to the south of here at mid-week and stalls out with low pressure likely to form along its boundary zone. As a result, additional showers are likely here from Wednesday night into Friday with embedded thunderstorms possible as well. The rainfall during the second half of the week could turn out to be a beneficial soaking event.
